so am I hearing this right, someone poised as another reporter, talked to the Wisconsin Gov, and during that conversation

Walker stated he considered having people go out into the crowd and cause disruptions/something so that he could order it dispursed?

Responses:

Go ahead and agitate--teachers, nurses and librarians are pretty unflappable. We'd just smile and put them in time outs. -- nm - Amy Feb 24, 08:47 6
- And yet so many of them are being given "doctors notes" for "mental stress" - Stephen, Enemy of the RNC Feb 24, 08:57 3
  - ha. I tried this yesterday at work. I told one of the docs "sign this" and handed them a work release form. I then put my name on it and handed it to - dogbert Feb 24, 09:01
  - I can DO that??????? -- nm - Amy Feb 24, 09:01 1
    - Only in Wisconsin, I think. :) -- nm - Stephen, Enemy of the RNC Feb 24, 09:06
- unflappable? bah, I'm plenty flappable. of course I get to just give everyone haldol and put them in a real time out - dogbert Feb 24, 08:51
- You are a naughty, naughty boy! It's time for a spanking! -- nm - Amy si Feb 24, 08:50
old tactics nothing new there -- nm - Danedukenuuk Feb 24, 08:40
that's not too surprising. vancouver police have been caught doing that a few times. -- nm - mafic Feb 24, 08:35
Wasn't this the reporter posing as Koch? And is it really so bad to consider doing something that you end up not doing? I consider doing all sorts of - mara Feb 24, 08:34 15
- No, the governor of Wisconsin does not get to have the "freedom of thought" to consider interfering with free speech -- nm - con_carne Feb 24, 08:44 2
  - I disagree. -- nm - mara Feb 24, 08:53 1
    - you're right mara! -- nm - dogbert Feb 24, 08:54
- Right, and the Koch impersonator actually brought it up first. -- nm - Ender Feb 24, 08:42 5

    - I imagine you get any pol on the line with a huge donor and when the donor says "Hey, you should do X" 9/10 of them will say "Heh, we thought about that but decided not to.". -- nm - Ender Feb 24, 08:46 2
      - I agree with you here. It's sort of a pat on the head to a supporter. You're not going to say "are you frikkin' crazy?" - pmb Feb 24, 08:52

  - Oh, well that makes it ok then. -- nm - Don Homer Feb 24, 08:43
- *considers punching will in the nose* - dogbert Feb 24, 08:41
- yeah, idle speculation is meaningless - what I find damning is his implication that he really is union-busting - even though he 'public' denies that. -- nm - decline Feb 24, 08:36 1
  - If you look at the specifics of what he is proposing, I don't see how it could be interpreted as anything *but* union-busting. -- nm - znufrii Feb 24, 08:37
- i am just amazed that he would admit that, regardless of who he was talking. - tRuMaN Feb 24, 08:35 2
  - People probably try to impress Koch all the time. He's rich and powerful. -- nm - mara Feb 24, 08:36 1
    - hmm. its possible. -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 24, 08:38
not as a reporter, as a Koch brother - Reagen Feb 24, 08:33 2
- right, it was areporter/blogger posing as Koch (which I always thought ended in ch - but is pronounce Coke) -- nm - decline Feb 24, 08:34
- aww. -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 24, 08:33
